WHAT WILL THE AUDIENCE LEARN?
Guest will learn the contributions of West African Dance and how it informs the discussion or racial equity.
EPISODE SUMMARY:
Historically, images of Africa have ranged from offensive narratives like those shown on Tarzan to those that show malnourished children. While some of those images have improved and we see a plethora of videos of individuals dancing to African music, our perception of this beautiful continent and culture are limited. We lack understanding of the importance of the drums and dance to cultivating a deep sense of self and community. Broadening our perspective of West African dance advances the work of dismantling racism It exposes the learner to African epistemologies (worldview), cosmology, and culture. These ways of seeing the world serve as counter-narratives to the dominant narrative that Africa has made little to no valuable contributions to the world.
Join Rev. Dr. TLC and Truth Hunter, academic, teacher, and student of West African dance as they discuss the amazing ways that dance heals our spirits, rewrites our historical narratives, and takes us to places that we've never gone before.
